WARSAW (WNS)~'Ihe worst crisis smce Poland became ipdependent at the close of the World War is how -informed Jewish leaders here describe the situation of Polish Jewry as a re¬ sult of the sensational Przytyk po¬ grom trial verdict, m which the po- groraists escaped with mild prisorl sentences while some Jews were given severe terms Enraged by what it calls thc impudence of the Jews in organizing nation-wide protests against the verdict, the anti-Semitic press IS openly inciting to renewed pogroms In Jewish circles there is a gi'owing feeling that the Przytyk verdict was dictated by the Skladkow¬ ski government m order to win the support of the Nationai Democrats (Endeks), who have been responsible for the wave of pogroms. From the tenor of comment in Endek newspa¬ pers it IS clear, that the Eqdeks regard the verdict as proof of thcir strength and are determined to, continue their fight fpr' control of the government. Meanwhile Polish Jewry continued to 'be stirred by the impassioned proclamation issued by the Jewish members of parliament solemnly pro¬ testing against the Przytyk verdict. The proclamation said tbat the Jews 'stand in the midst of a war which has no parallel. The Jewish popula¬ tion is not protected cither in life or property, both of which are in dan¬ ger. We have no rights to defend ourselves against attacks and we are attacked oh every side by a merciless foe." ^ , .
The government prosecutor who conducted .the trial of those involved in the Przytyk- pogrom has filed no¬ tice of an apjieal, to be heard in Sep¬ tember. Efforts to obtain the release of the convicted Jews on bail until the appeal is heard have been unavailing. The acquitted Poles have begun a boycott .movement against the (Continued on page 4)

Dr. Wise declared his intention "to safeguard and strengthen with maximum support the Zionist ideal, and to do everything in accordance with the decision of the World Zionist Congress held last summer in Luceino, thus to bring together all thc different Zionist factions in America into a united Zionist Or¬ ganization which will transcend all groups." Citing the experience of London Zionists, t)r. Wise pointed out that "we cannot afford to in¬ dulge in the luxury of di\ision, and that it is essential that we have a broad and inspiring platform. 1 shall do ni> utmost to win the masses of American Jewry to the bupport of thc ideal and the prac¬ tice df the Jewish National Ilome in Palestine."

He paid tribute to the heroism of the Palestine Jcwii and lauded -their disci¬ pline and self-restraint in the face of provocation and violence.
Asserting that ,' thc grovvth of Palestine has not been rapid enough, he said "wc need more population in Palestine" aiid "must exert ourselves supremely to settle as inany Jews as possible as quickly as possible. It is only. When bur numbers shall have reached a parity with the Arab popu- latipii that the instigators of trouble will recognize the futility of their de¬ structive efforts, and a stable peace between, both elements of the Pales¬ tinian population will be insured." A-ftcr appealing for "solidarity in giv-, ing aid and coinfort to our, brothers, in Palestine," Mr, Rothenberg criti¬ cized thc . policy of the. Mandatory power, saying "it is high time .that the Mandatory Power.realize the er¬ ror and futility of a policy to pacify Arab leaders at the expense of Jevv¬ ish interests." ¦
^Turning to-domestic Zionist prob¬ lems, Mr. Rothenberg urged an in¬ creased proj'cction of Zionist effort, in general Jewish cultural life.. He also rccomineilded to the convention the ratification of a plan for setting up .a territorial form of organization for tlie Zi O.

WARSAW (WNS)~'Ihe worst crisis smce Poland became ipdependent at the close of the World War is how -informed Jewish leaders here describe the situation of Polish Jewry as a re¬ sult of the sensational Przytyk po¬ grom trial verdict, m which the po- groraists escaped with mild prisorl sentences while some Jews were given severe terms Enraged by what it calls thc impudence of the Jews in organizing nation-wide protests against the verdict, the anti-Semitic press IS openly inciting to renewed pogroms In Jewish circles there is a gi'owing feeling that the Przytyk verdict was dictated by the Skladkow¬ ski government m order to win the support of the Nationai Democrats (Endeks), who have been responsible for the wave of pogroms. From the tenor of comment in Endek newspa¬ pers it IS clear, that the Eqdeks regard the verdict as proof of thcir strength and are determined to, continue their fight fpr' control of the government. Meanwhile Polish Jewry continued to 'be stirred by the impassioned proclamation issued by the Jewish members of parliament solemnly pro¬ testing against the Przytyk verdict. The proclamation said tbat the Jews 'stand in the midst of a war which has no parallel. The Jewish popula¬ tion is not protected cither in life or property, both of which are in dan¬ ger. We have no rights to defend ourselves against attacks and we are attacked oh every side by a merciless foe." ^ , .
The government prosecutor who conducted .the trial of those involved in the Przytyk- pogrom has filed no¬ tice of an apjieal, to be heard in Sep¬ tember. Efforts to obtain the release of the convicted Jews on bail until the appeal is heard have been unavailing. The acquitted Poles have begun a boycott .movement against the (Continued on page 4)

Dr. Wise declared his intention "to safeguard and strengthen with maximum support the Zionist ideal, and to do everything in accordance with the decision of the World Zionist Congress held last summer in Luceino, thus to bring together all thc different Zionist factions in America into a united Zionist Or¬ ganization which will transcend all groups." Citing the experience of London Zionists, t)r.

tlie'ir energies so that'the development of Palestine niay be' speeded 'to "an even greater tempo than has been characteristic of the past," Mr. Roth¬ enberg said that out of the .present disturbances, ."profoundly as we de¬ plore them, we shall gather strength." He paid tribute to the heroism of the Palestine Jcwii and lauded -their disci¬ pline and self-restraint in the face of provocation and violence.
Asserting that ,' thc grovvth of Palestine has not been rapid enough, he said "wc need more population in Palestine" aiid "must exert ourselves supremely to settle as inany Jews as possible as quickly as possible. It is only. When bur numbers shall have reached a parity with the Arab popu- latipii that the instigators of trouble will recognize the futility of their de¬ structive efforts, and a stable peace between, both elements of the Pales¬ tinian population will be insured." A-ftcr appealing for "solidarity in giv-, ing aid and coinfort to our, brothers, in Palestine," Mr, Rothenberg criti¬ cized thc . policy of the. Mandatory power, saying "it is high time .that the Mandatory Power.realize the er¬ ror and futility of a policy to pacify Arab leaders at the expense of Jevv¬ ish interests." ¦
^Turning to-domestic Zionist prob¬ lems, Mr. Rothenberg urged an in¬ creased proj'cction of Zionist effort, in general Jewish cultural life.. He also rccomineilded to the convention the ratification of a plan for setting up .a territorial form of organization for tlie Zi O.
